Sweet cold elation drew you in
Blue ten dollar bills in your' hand
You should've waited to see that band

You should've waited to see that band
Chasing down the dying light
You should've waited to see that sight

Your' timing's too far off to understand
Questions form as boy grows into man
He's reaching out with a tiny hand
You could've waited to live your' plan
You could've waited to see that sight
You should've waited to see that night
You should've waited to see that band
Chasing down the dying light
You should've waited
